I have received many comments and questions about how you can do what is described in this post when you site requires question and answer.

The solution is definiterly not the best and should be used with EXTREME caution because in a high traffic website can cause problems but I write it down anyway.

We will use reflection in order to solve our problem.

And this is the code

But this code changes the only instance of MembershipProvider meaning if you access somewhere else from your application the property RequiresQuestionAndAnswer until you set back it’s original value you will get false instead of true.

So again be VERY careful.

Hope you find it useful!
